10 Tips for Attending a Wedding Show

Attending a wedding show is a great way to get inspired and explore all the possibilities for your special day. You can meet with vendors to discuss ideas and see a variety of options from decorations to catering to music. You also have the opportunity to see different types of dresses, sample cakes and go home with tons of swag!

It can be convenient to attend a wedding show, because not only will you get great ideas for planning your wedding, but you will save time by viewing everything in one place. Plus, many vendors offer discounts on products and services that are exclusive to wedding shows!

The 2023 Wonderful Wedding Show is just around the corner, and we thought we’d share with you our tips so you can get the most out of the show.

With hundreds of vendors ready to talk to you and hand you information, the day can be overwhelming. But it can also be a lot of fun if you come prepared.

Here are our 10 tips to make the most out of your experience:

1. Research the show! Look online and find out what vendors will be attending, and where their booth will be located. This will help you to decide what area you want to start in and which vendors you want to visit.
2. Along with researching, you should also make a list of the things you want to look for before you go so you can stay focused and get the most out of your time.
3. Consider who you are bringing to the show with you. Bring your future spouse to get ideas together. Bring your wedding party to help you with the finer details. Bring a family member to help make decisions and give you a second opinion. Who you choose is ultimately up to you!
4. Make sure your phone is charged so you can snap photos of inspiration, booths you want to remember to return to, and vendors that you enjoyed talking to.
5. You might also want to bring a notebook and pen: Take notes and jot down any ideas you may have. This will help you remember all the details and make it easier to compare vendors when it comes time to choose.
6. Don’t be afraid to ask questions! Vendors are there to help and answer any questions you may have. Take advantage of their knowledge and expertise and enjoy the opportunity to meet who might be assisting you with your wedding day.
7. Take advantage of the free samples and offers being given out! Most vendors will also have a contest that you can enter on the spot. Come prepared with pre-written labels with your name, contact information and wedding date included.
8. Wear comfortable shoes! You will be walking around for the better part of the day, so do what you can to avoid sore feet taking away from the experience.
9. Take breaks! Look for the bridal lounge to rest your feet, have a snack and absorb the information you have collected before going back out there.
10. Don’t forget to have fun! Make sure to enjoy the experience and create memories that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

I truly hope this helps you have your best time at the wedding show.

Best of luck with your wedding planning!
